Strictly speaking, you don't need libvulkan to build vkd3d. The build
without libvulkan requires that any client of libvkd3d must pass a
pointer to vkGetInstanceProcAddr() to vkd3d_create_instance(). A build
without libvulkan is good enough for Wine. You need recent Vulkan
headers, but you can get those easily from
git at github.com:KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Headers.git (just add the path to
headers to CPPFLAGS passed to configure). Similarly, a new version of
widl shouldn't be a big problem. If you have recent enough Wine
sources, you can also build a recent version of widl: make tools/widl.
